"But
that isn't what I was going to ask you. Bella, can I go to Seattle
with-"

"Wait.
Me first. Edward, will you go to the dance with me?"

Edward's
POV

"Edward,
will you go to the dance with me?" Bella said.

"Um,
hello? I thought you were going to Seattle?" I questioned.

"Well I
was but I just got out of hand right then. I just had to try and ask
you. I needed to know what you were going to say. So what is your
answer?"

"Hello?
Why didn't you ask me sooner? I would love to go with you!" I
could not believe that she just asked me this. My dreams were coming
true.

Bella's
POV

I could
not believe he just said yes! Was I dreaming? He opened my door for
me.

"So,
Bella? Since tonight is Friday night, do you want to go to port
Angelus and find you a beautiful dress for the dance?" I couldn't
let him do this. Pay for my dress?!

"No
Edward. I have many dresses at home that I can wear. I don't need
another one." He hopped in beside me and scooted me over to the
passenger side and grabbed the keys. He started the car.

"Well
we'll see about that." He backed up and drove out of the parking
lot.

****

We were
parked in my drive way. It had started to rain horribly. You couldn't
see the house.

"Edward
who are you calling?" he had his little silver phone in his hand
and he had dialed a number.

"Hey
meet me at Bella's house ASAP. Bye." He hung up the phone. "Go
wait in you room for me and Alice right now. We are going to look at
your dresses and see what we have to work with if you don't want a
new one. Alice will be able to help with this kind of stuff." He
smiled.

"O-Oh
Kay." And I crawled out of the car. I ran into the house and up the
stairs past a stunned Charlie.

"Hey
kiddo. Why are you in such a hurry?" Charlie said.

"Um…I
got a lot of homework to do."

"Ok. But
I'm going to need you to make dinner soon."

"Ok dad.
See ya in a bit." I raced upstairs to my bed room to find Alice and
Edward sitting on my bed still as statues.

"Ok,"
I murmured, "what do we need to do?"

"Well,
first, we can either see what you have and maybe I can primp the
dress you want to wear or we can just skip that and you can choose to
go buy a brand new dress that is updated and will compliment you
more. Which do you want to do first?"

"Um……
I think we should look at my dresses first. I don't want to be too
flashy at the dance."

"Well
ok. Let's get started!" yelled Alice. She threw herself at the
closet. I just looked at Edward who just rolled his eyes. He crawled
over to me and sat down.

"Can you
tell that Alice loves fashion?" he whispered. I giggled.

"Yes.
Very much." I laughed.

Alice
started throwing my clothes out more vigorously. Finally she just
stopped and turned around. She put her hands on her hips.

"Bella
Swan. I can't work with this! Nothing! Nothing can compliment you
beauty," she turned to Edward," Edward? I think it is time."
They just looked at each other and nodded their heads slowly.

"It's
time for what?" I questioned.

"Bella,
go down stairs and wait for the doorbell to ring." Edward said.

"Um...
Why?"

"Just do
it."

"Well ok
and I skipped out of my room and down the stairs. I stumbled into the
living room and sat on the couch.

"Hey
kid, I thought you had a ton of work?" interrogated Charlie.

"Well
I thought I would take a little break. Maybe even start on dinner.
You know. Those kinds of things. Oh did you know that eating food
after thinking for a long time help-"

KNOCK!
KNOCK! KNOCK!

"I'll
get it!" I yelled even before Charlie could respond. I ran to the
door and opened it. Edward stood in the doorway.

"Bella,
tell your dad I want to take you to port angelus to find you a dress
for the dance," he whispered.

"Um…
dad? Edward Cullen is here and he wants to take me to port angelus to
find a dress for the dance. Can I go?" I said hopefully. Charlie
peeked around the corner.

"Well im
definitely not gonna let you go if I don't meet the boy first! Come
on in!" Edward walked up to Charlie shutting the door behind him.

"Hello
sir. Im Edward Cullen and I would like to take your daughter to port
angelus tonight to find a dress for the spring dance that she asked
me to." He smiled.

"Well, I
don't know. Bella? Is this the kind of boy you want to go with? He
seems kind of….. I don't know. Weird."

"I
promise sir. I am not a weirdo. I will take good care of your
daughter. I will protect her with my life sir."

"Uh huh.
Bella, are you sure?"

"Yes
dad. Im able to take care of myself. I'll be fine."

"Ok well
you MAKE sure to keep her safe. And no funny business, boy. But
before you go," Charlie walked into the kitchen. He opened the
drawer next to the fridge. He rummaged around for a bit. Then he
found what he wanted, shut the drawer, and walked back into the
living room. He walked up to me. He tried to smuggle something into
my hand. It dropped to the floor and I picked in up. The can said
Pepper Spray.

"Dad!
Really!"

"Well it
is just in case. Keep it in your bag."

"No dad
I'll be fine without it."

"Ok,"Charlie
said as Edward put his arm through mine," you kids be careful,"
he said as we walked out the door," and have her back by 11:00!"

"I will
do so sir!" Edward said. Finally we were out the door! Edward
walked me to the passenger door side of his Volvo. He opened the door
and helped me in. He ran to the drivers' side door and opened it
and got in. He started the car and backed out of the driveway turning
onto the road. It was so quiet.

"So
Bella, are you ready to go find a dress?"

"Ooh and
im going to help too!" screamed Alice from the backseat.

"AHHHHH!"
I screamed. I could see Edward laughing silently.

"I
didn't know you were there!" I huffed. Alice giggled.

"That
was awesome Edward!" She cheered as she and Edward gave each other
a high five.

"This is
not funny guys!" I mumbled.

"Well it
was to me!" squeaked Alice.

"It was
kind of funny to me too." smiled Edward.

"Ok
enough of that, lets get on with this night!" said Alice.

"Ok."
Edward said," This will be fun"

"Yeah.
It will be," I whispered.
